Message: [QUOTE="IntenseHeat, post: 2251929, member: 92488"] Shame on the casino is right. I was looking at some responses to this thread the other night and a thought popped into my head. Why did the casino do the things that they did? Why let him touch the cards? Why allow cards to be rotated. Is it just me, or does all of this seem peculiar, even for a high roller? If they suspected him of cheating, then why let him continue to play? I wonder, with all of the card touching and rotating and such, if they might not have initially suspected him of marking cards. While we can say edge sorting isn't really cheating, but rather a form of advantage play, I don't think that anyone could argue that card marking would not be outright cheating. I can just imagine the casino big wigs deciding what they would do. "Should we stop the game?" "No. Let's give him some more rope to hang himself with. The longer he plays, the more cards he marks, the more evidence we'll have. We'll keep our money and his. And if he doesn't like it, we can threaten to have have him arrested and charges pressed against him." But of course, he wasn't card marking. He was edge sorting. Again, I can imagine the casino manager trying to figure out what to do. "What do you mean he wasn't marking cards? You said he was marking cards!" "I said that he may be marking cards. It seems that what he was doing was edge sorting, taking advantage of the defect in the our card stock, to gain an advantage." "I wouldn't have let him keep playing or let him build his winnings up so high if I thought we were going to have to pay him." "What can we do but pay him?" "Refund his money. Give him back his stake. Tell him that this matter is under investigation. We'll see what he does. If he files suit, we might still be able to keep from paying him if we can convince a judge that he was actually cheating." I don't know. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I just have to vivid an imagination. I just doesn't make sense to me that someone wouldn't have recognized that he was edge sorting and put a stop to it. In a casino, somebody is always watching you. In fact, in a casino everyone is being watched by someone. They have watchers watching the watchers watch. And nobody saw this happening, or thought to put a stop to it? [/QUOTE]
